Popular Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti, has called on Nigerian government to legalise marijuana.
Seun noted that no scientist has been able to prove that marijuana use causes any disease.
The singer in an Instagram live session on his page, asserted that Nigeria has lost its unique strain of marijuana because of the ban on it in the country.
“Africa used to have the best marijuana in the world but we’ve lost that strain of marijuana that they use to grow in Obiarukwu forest in Asaba and Sapele in the Delta region. We’ve lost it because she didn’t encourage the cultivation.
“Now, the West has the best marijuana. Germany is going to legalise it very soon. France, Britain and America are talking about it too. It’s already legalised in Canada.
“Has the Nigeria government independently carried out any research on marijuana use? Even in Israel, the land of your ‘lord’, the ‘holy land’, marijuana is legal. In fact, Israel is at the forefront of medical marijuana research.”
